Peaceful Mind Psychology Armadale

Natalie and the team at Peaceful Mind Psychology are thoughtful and professional. In particular, the team has received specific training in eating-related disorders. We often refer to them and have heard really good feedback.

DO NOT contact this company if you are seeking help for a serious/ chronic disorder. They are only interested in money, and will destroy your life.I came to these people in desperation, seeking help, and had I been a weaker person, it would have ended in suicide.As a high-functioning anorexic-bulimic binger, they should have initially referred me to a dietician. Instead they told me to ‘eat as much as you can, and include junk food.’ Yes they actually asked me to eat processed food & junk food… (Who tells a binge-eating bulimic who is obsessed with health, to eat junk food??)Encouraging me to keep going as I packed on the kgs, I eventually left & found a real therapist. I won’t say the amount of kgs I gained here, because it will trigger panic in some people (as it did in me!), but it was a HUGE amount, because of course once I started eating junk food I couldn’t stop. I was scared for my heart health!I was in pain a lot because they kept saying ‘you’re not eating enough, you’re not eating enough’ so i was always uncomfortably stuffed full. There was no compassion, only robotic ‘our fees are going up this week’..And when I said I was leaving they replied ‘ok, bye!’ Zero care whatsoever. If you value your physical health and mental health, DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!! They will make it much, much worse. I have been through hell to try to recover properly, and am still at least 35kg overweight.It’s a process. But it didn’t have to be this traumatic and distressing for me. They have no care for their clients, only for how much money they’re making. They may be acceptable for someone who needs fairly simple counselling or guidelines. However they have NO right and should not legally be allowed to accept serious eating disorder clients.If I’d had a serious health crisis due to their appalling advice & direction, they’d have done everything to get out of being responsible. I’m appalled they’re even in practise. Absolutely disgraceful.

I really enjoyed working for Peaceful Mind Psychology and would be grateful for any opportunities to rejoin this fantastic team in the future.I applied to work for Peaceful Mind Psychology because I felt that their values and way of practicing ticked all the boxes for me, and my experience confirmed this. The rooms were comfortable for clients and the space felt inviting and safe, exactly what clients want when they are attending therapy. There was a consistent flow of clients where the intake process ensured I saw client populations that matched my interests and skill level, lending to high retention rates. With a full diary I really felt the benefit of the friendly and efficient administrative support offered at Peaceful Mind Psychology. In addition the clinical director provided constant support and encouragement which assisted my practice tremendously, it made the daunting step of private practice enjoyable. I have worked at a number of practices and I can confidently say that Peaceful Mind Psychology is a place you can be proud to work for, there is ample support, and you feel confident to help your clients achieve their therapy goals.

I had several sessions with Leah at Peaceful Mind and I got everything that I wanted out of my sessions. So much so that I am feeling confident and happy enough to move forward for the time being without further consults. Leah created a safe place for me to feel comfortable and more than willing to be open with my feelings and challenges.If I have any need to seek out help moving forward I would, without doubt, choose Peaceful Mind for psychological services.Further, Amelda (the practice manager) is by far the best receptionist I have ever interacted with. She goes above and beyond with extremely prompt and clear communication, as well as always creating a personable and genuine interaction/high level of care.Kudos to a highly professional and lovely team.

I've had an incredible experience at Peaceful Mind Psychology. I had Emily Burton as my psychologist and I couldn't recommend her enough. She's so understanding and empathetic and really helps you understand that what you're going through is okay and she provides some great tools to work on what you're going through. I thought I'd end up requiring the service for quite some time but I've actually cancelled my upcoming appointments because I feel like I am in a much better place and want to tackle life without that support. I'll definitely be back if I feel the need but definitely grateful for my time with the team here.

Blessed to have found such a beautiful practice. Noam is wonderful, a very kind and warm psychologist. Amelda is such a pleasure to deal with, always so lovely and accommodating with booking appointments - Thank you :)

I have had a great experience at Peaceful Mind so far. I saw Vanja for 18 months and it was the most successful therapeutic relationship I’ve ever had. She is kind and warm, very open-minded and patient. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Amelda is also the friendliest and most accommodating office administrator I’ve ever dealt with!

I was so lucky to find this place. My psychologist was just amazing, and even the admin staff make you feel human and heard!

I have been a patient of Taash Balakas for just over the past year. Before reaching out to the team at peaceful mind, it was personally by far the most challenging year of my life.However since working with Taash, it has been one of the most positive and life-changing experiences I gone through. She has been an amazing support and helped me in navigating through some very difficult times in my life. Her knowledge and guidance have been invaluable.Her methods and advice has helped me so much putting things in perspective and it has impacted on my health and happiness in such a beneficial way.It can be very difficult to take the first step to reach out for help but since day one Taash made me at ease and comfortable with the whole process and experience. I think this has alot to do with her caring and kind nature. I am deeply grateful for her support.I would also like to thank Amelda in particular at reception, who has been very accommodating and a delight to deal with, along with the rest of the wonderful reception team.I would highly recommend Taash to anyone who feels like they are in need of some of professional counselling and therapy.

We are so fortunate that Mia has been our daughters clinical psychologist for over 12 months.Our daughter has anorexia nervosa and anxiety and after many failed attempts with other Therapist she clicked straight away with MiaMia is a nurturing kind therapist that can also be firm if needed.She often forwards us great written information to help our daughter and our mental wellness .We always feel great relief after the session as our daughter‘s mood is often improved.I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.Amelda has been amazing too ,so often squeezing us into appointments when a extra needed ,and just being so kind and understanding when appointments need changing.
